New Car


After a long day at the dealership (3 hours)she passed out on the way home. She did so well and didn't complain once the entire time. She even got 2 balloons...the first one went up to the ceiling and she held on to the other one!

After the car accident and finding her booster seat on the floor, my mom and I decided to quit being so cheap (I have her 5-point booster seat in storage in Michigan), we decided that Emily needed to be more safe, even if it is just a temporary booster seat. It was a rude awakening for both of us on Saturday, realizing if she was in the car with me, she would have been seriously hurt.

Here is her new 5-point booster seat...aka the princess booster seat!!

My poor Saturn being towed away after the hospital delivery van backed into and totaled it out (he actually broke the motor mounts!!!)



My parents let me use my mom's HHR to get to and from work while I was waiting for the check from the insurance company. My check arrived Saturday afternoon! An hour later, I totaled my mom's car! The other truck I hit is completely fine minus the back bumper being slightly dented. The driver is also ok. She was taken to the hospital to make sure, but found out she is ok. My arm is pretty scratched up and bruised, back really sore and some bruised ribs, but other than that, I am ok. So, that took us down to just my dad's truck. We could have gotten a rental, but didn't feel the need to since it is summer and both of my parents are not working.

Yesterday, we went to Salem and got this car for me! A 2008 Hyundai Elantra. It is so nice and I love it. I was able to pay for half of it in cash and had to finance the rest. Completely excited about that one. Plus, I have a 6 year warranty on it.
